The fundamentalist mindset never ceases to to amaze me. The unjust judges of the world put this god of this mindset to shame. When will you learn to righteously judge all things by Jesus Christ, he didn't go around pronouncing judgement upon it, he spoke the answer to it.
He went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. Has it ever occurred to you who it is that is oppressed of the devil?, yes, all those you condemn to hell because you think they are sinners. Is it any wonder he lost his cool with that fundamentalist mindset of his day.
Abba Father
The teaching of the Fatherhood of God takes a decided turn with Jesus, for "Father" was his favorite term for addressing God. It appears on his lips some sixty-five times in the Synoptic Gospels and over one hundred times in John. The exact term Jesus used is still found three times in the New Testament ( Mark 14:36 ; Rom 8:15-16 ; Gal 4:6 ) but elsewhere the Aramaic term Abba is translated by the Greek pater [pathvr]. The uniqueness of Jesus' teaching on this subject is evident for several reasons. For one, the rarity of this designation for God is striking. There is no evidence in pre-Christian Jewish literature that Jews addressed God as "Abba. " A second unique feature about Jesus' use of Abba as a designation for God involves the intimacy of the term. Abba was a term little children used when they addressed their fathers. At one time it was thought that since children used this term to address their fathers the nearest equivalent would be the English term "Daddy." More recently, however, it has been pointed out that Abba was a term not only that small children used to address their fathers; it was also a term that older children and adults used. As a result it is best to understand Abba as the equivalent

Wow! Jesus Christ, the Son who is the light of God's glory and the imprint of God's being never once referred to Abba as judge...not one time! Zero, nada!

Yes, Jesus told a parable about an unrighteous judge that showed compassion. How often do we depict God like that unrighteous judge?. I am sure Jesus through his life of becoming God manifest in the flesh had quite a few moments that inspired parables, and in this instance where he possibly saw or heard of an urighteous judge showing compassion and thought to himself, if this is what an righteous judge would do, our much our righteous heavenly Father?.

Can you show me a time in the gospel where Jesus did not heal(turn around things to how they ought to be) what he faced other than where unbelief was present. He turned absolutely everything he faced into how it should be, even the water into wine, he drove the fundamentalists crazy(which is not hard to do) doing this, they wanted weeping and bawling, condemnation and fundy repentance before things to be changed.
The wide road is the road for the many. The narrow gate and hard road of life is for the few.
I don't belong to the many.
yes and even on this list and this site you are 4 or 5 to how many thousand? and they all would love nothing more than to end the 5 or 6 or so so of us who really like God and his word..
we think he is doing a great Job and about to let what he has really been up to become seen too.
